Welcome to the CreationWiki!
We thank the Lord for your willingness to serve Him by participating in the development of this educational resource. The CreationWiki is a collaborative effort and your help is needed. Our hope is that by working together we can build an archive of knowledge that will spread the truth of His creation throughout the world.
Please note that only creationists are permitted to edit articles. New editors are encouraged to visit the community portal to find ways of getting involved. It is also important to familiarize yourself with policy, such as the requirements for uploading images. The CreationWiki has been equipped with numerous help files that are essential for people unfamiliar with editing using the Mediawiki software.
- Policy - We now ask that editors provide references to support all article content.
- Creating a new page - Simply enter a title for your new article and click "Create page".
- Editing Help - Authoring within the CreationWiki may require a little education.
- Formatting Help - Formatting pictures and creating tables will help make your pages professional.
Image sources
To verify the source of images, a link to the description page where the image can be found should be provided - like the following.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pyramid_of_Djoser_2.jpg
For Creative Commons Licensed documents, its also important to identify the specific license, since it specifies the permissions the copyright holder has given. An accurate source for the image can be used to find this info, but better yet, place that information in the copyright status when uploading.
If you can track the images back down - please edit the files below with the source page.

- http://creationwiki.org/File:Sakkara_C02-16.jpg
- http://creationwiki.org/File:Hawara_Pyramid_Amenemhet3.jpg
Also for future reference, you shouldn't use GIF files. PNG seems to be preferred for resizing purposes, but also the site seems to just have a problem with GIF. After a while they frequently become corrupted. If you can, its best to resave your GIFs as PNGs and upload them again.

Imhotep discussion

Imhotep
I'm not knocking Imhotep as a candidate for Joseph. However, we should have accurate information on Imhotep. And site our sources on it. Especially in light of there being plenty of inaccurate statements made Imhotep. And also we should take into consideration of the counter arguments too. - (http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Joseph_was_Imhotep) --Anaccuratesource 20:49, 14 January 2012 (PST)
Duplicate content
You have placed the same images on a great many pages - two images now exist on more than 70 different pages - including many new pages that were created with only the images pasted-in.

In general, pages should not contain duplicate content. The main image above specifically belongs at one location - Egyptian_chronology#Biblical_synchrony. Other pages should then link to this section of the Egyptian chronology page as needed. Having the image additionally on a few pages would be accepted provided that the text goes into detail on chronology, but not on every page that bears a name on the graphic.
In addition these images are Excessively Large and many others you have placed are also over-sized for page use. In general, we set images to 250-150px by default. The user can then click on the image to see the full size version if desired. Take a look at how I've sized them for this page (Egyptian_chronology#Biblical_synchrony) and use a similar convention for future image use.
I've deleted the new pages you created that had only the graphics, and reversed the additions to most pages. Take a look at the current positioning of the graphic on the Shem, Ham, and Japheth pages, which is now much more consistent with site convention.
